Pictures from a date that still lives in infamy: Dec. 7, 1941

In just a few weeks — 70 years and change after the surprise attack by Japanese forces that killed some 2,400 people — the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association will disband, according to today’s CNN report. The group’s rapidly shrinking pool of members, of whom CNN said about 120 are expected to attend today’s commemorative ceremony at the Pearl Harbor visitor center, plus the failing health of those who remain have apparently brought the organization to a close.

While those who directly experienced the attack, and its long aftermath of war and deprivation, may be dwindling in number, the memories they’ve shared with their descendants survive. My parents were still children at the time, but their parents’ reaction to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s speech made a lasting impression, as did all else that followed.

Those who were kids on O‘ahu remember seeing and smelling the smoke, hearing the buzzing of planes, sensing the fear … if you’ve read “Farewell to Manzanar,” as I did at a pretty young age, you know where that fear led (even in Hawai‘i, approximately 1,800 people of Japanese descent were sent to interment camps.) And if you watched “The Pacific,” as I did last year in my more advanced age, you have a newly visceral sense of the toll paid by U.S. servicemen retaliating for the attack.

Rather than highlight the most familiar images, I’ve selected ones that show how widespread the Japanese forces’ targets were, thanks to the spread of U.S. military installations beyond Pearl Harbor. I hope they also reflect the resilience of those who survived.
